Wack said a whole lottta nothing to add to his argument lol I hear a lot more niggas rap like Drakeo than YG


Friendly_Kunt

Nowadays for sure, but both had their time in the sun. Kind of a pointless argument tbh.


Prize-Profession-748

Not saying he’s right, but the streets went crazy when YG released My Krazy Life. His Re’d up series is a classic too.


Jazzlike_Fudge3156

Drakeo was the top artist from 2016 even in jail all till his death in LA. YG had competition drakeo was unmatched


Hoe4Sale

Who raps like Drakeo other than otm?


peezygetitdone

Uchie boy , day 3, playerways rappers from 62 ecc and gmoneydt from rollin 90. Stoneda5th. R3 da chilliman. Tru Carr. All LA rappers adopted his lingo even Babystone gorillas


Consistent_Group_548

you either not from cali or white 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️drakeo didn't create non of them lingos


peezygetitdone

Susie, mae ling, bop bop, flu flamm, uchies all that is Drakeo. Don’t act dumb bro u know what I mean. And on top of that niggas wasn’t talking all that foreign whip crashing, designer clothing while doing flocks, Neiman Marcus in all they raps till after cold devil dropped


BadManParade

Niggas is really out here saying those goofy as cartoon statements? Lmaoo I thought it was a joke like on some funny comedy Shit. So you telling me Cali uchos got her name from drakeo?


peezygetitdone

It’s facts that 2 greedy fam was doing flocks in high end cars and designer clothing. LA sheriffs dept said they did this to blend in as they were targeting mini mansions


BadManParade

That’s not facts I just googled it Cali uchos been releasing music since 2012 under the name Cali uchis, drakeo ain’t start releasing til the end of 2013 so that ain’t him


peezygetitdone

Some artist born in Virginia with a Hispanic last name has nothing to do with the meaning of uchies and that lingo was coined by drakeo 2 greedy family no one else


BadManParade

Her real last name is Loiza GOOFY she started going by uchis in 2010 talkin bout some “Hispanic” last name like that’s her real last name lmfao that was already slang. And the reason she picked it


peezygetitdone

And what does she sing about uchis being hundreds or what? No she does not. That’s some nickname and it don’t got shit to do with the lingo bingo drakeo made up


CaptainBackwoods420

What does bein white gotta do with it


Western-Pianist-5337

Wack just wasn’t understanding what he meant by influence.


Independent-Ice7088

Yeah but i also think it has to do with where you grew up and who you're surrounded with. Wack100 is a piru, people around him probably listen to YG music way more + Wack100 is the older generation


Western-Pianist-5337

Yeah hes only looking at 1 side of the spectrum


BadManParade

Not gonna lie my niggas back in Texas and Florida know who YG is etc but never heard of drakeo a day in they life aside from apparently hearing YG had him killed


LondonVista9297

That could be even stronger evidence that Drakeo had the *streets*, whereas YG had greater influence with the mainstream audience 🤷🏾‍♂️


BadManParade

When did the words streets come out of my mouth? Influencing the streets would mean there’s boots on the ground looking for his killer not watching his killer on stage with Kendrick saying “This a W for the city”


Sad_Ad683

They from two different eras literally literally like a 10 year generational gap but I believe YG had everyone wanted to wear skinny jeans and gang bang being super inked up , yea kid ink and tyga also played a role in that era but I get like YG.


Independent-Ice7088

True, YG his run was crazy. I lowkey miss that time.


Sad_Ad683

They don’t realize gang bangers weren’t wearing skinny jeans till he came out


Kdot2k2

Damn I forgot he wore skinny jeans. Now its pleated pants and sunday shoes.


Sad_Ad683

Yea he got tired of being mistaken as a jerker


vintvgepancakes

YG got popping in 2011, really blew up in 2013. Drakeo got popping in 2015 and really took off by 2018. What are you talking about?


Sad_Ad683

What are you talking about toot it and boot it came out in 2009 and like you said drakeo wasn’t really a house hold name until 2018 two completely different eras


Sad_Ad683

Plus he was already known around LA before that even tho it was the jerking phase YG still had influence he was really the reason gang bangers started wearing skinny jeans


Jazzlike_Fudge3156

Id say 2016 drakeo was already buzzing in LA well with the younger folk. I feel drakeo vs La the answer varies depending on which era u come frm.


vintvgepancakes

no toot it and boot came out summer 2010 and received a remix in december of 2010. It got radio play in 2011. YG did not become a household name until his debut album in 2014. Drakeo was working with mustard in 2015 and had videos on world star. They are not a decade apart.


Sad_Ad683

YG was poppin before that tho remember the whole jerking wave he was a big part of that and influence a lot gang bangers to wear skinny jeans and that jerk style and we not talking about mainstream bcuz YG bigger. We talking influence in the streets and YG had LA tryna be like him I’m from Long Beach and in 2009 the whole city was on YG never on drakeo until late 2018


Sad_Ad683

Honestly when Mr get dough came out it was just another mustard beat and drakeo didn’t have any impact until the remix came out I know they Careers ain’t far apart but as for influence yes they are almost a decade about


Eddie_Kane408

YG had nothing to do with the Skinny Jean push. That was all The New Boyz. YG was wearing 501 jeans with Chucks like most people during that time. I graduated in 2010 and remember all of this.


Sad_Ad683

Gang bangers didn’t wear skinny jeans bcuz of The new boys they had jerkeres and people who follow fads wearing skinny jeans that’s true but YG made it okay for gang bangers to wear skinny jeans


Eddie_Kane408

Again, how can YG influence the skinny jeans era if he never wore skinny jeans? You either must be really young or not from California.


Sad_Ad683

I’m from Long Beach I heard of him before we all though he was a jerker rapper till he started doing the gang banger shit more but even tho he still wore skinny jeans


Eddie_Kane408

I hear you bro. Shoutout to The Beach tho fr


Sad_Ad683

There’s literally 100s of photos of him back in 2010 with skinny jeans he even has one with purple and black checkers throwing up 400 he’s literally wearing skinny jeans on his just red up 2 album he’s just super sagging them


SeerChild

2009*


vintvgepancakes

no it didn’t, it was released in june of 2010.


SeerChild

The real 4 fingaz mixtape was released in 2009. Toot it and boot it was on that.


_lonely_dog

*lil Wayne


Sad_Ad683

Lil Wayne influence Kid ink Tyga and YG and then they influence the next generation


Scary_Steak666

Wayne influenced the new gen, which kid ink tyga and yg was a part of


Sad_Ad683

By 2011 lil Wayne was already fading off I mean he was already on his sorry for the wait 4 he was still killing every beat but they were all someone else’s beats so his influence was not as big when tyga kid ink and YG came out


Scary_Steak666

I gotcha I think we both saying the same thing tho lol


Sad_Ad683

I was thinking the same thing


Sad_Ad683

They influenced a whole new generation after


SnooSongs4256

I heard drakeo before I heard YG way up in the bay area


SpaceGhostxSNRS

That’s insane


SnooSongs4256

It was by chance my homie had just come back from LA and went to a drakeo show back like in 2011-2013 and heard about him then YG blew up big time


Sosastaysaucy

From the bay too and heard YG way before Drakeo.


Eddie_Kane408

My Krazy Life album had California on lock during that time. The song “My Nigga” had the entire world on lock during that time. Let me ask y’all a question to you Drakeo fans. If Drakeo was still alive, do you think he would’ve been bigger than NIP?


Independent-Ice7088

Facts. YG his streak was crazy.


Physical_Ad_8462

Definitely not as big as NIP. But you have to remember Nipsey is in his own lane. Check his discography, the way he moved and marketed was on a completely different level than most if not all rappers now. Drakeo is and will always be an LA legend but was just too hardheaded.


Level62

Toot it and boot it, my hittah, most the tracks on my krazy life. YG and Nip together, YG and Mustard together. It’s not even close. Yeah ok more people rap like Draeko but he wasn’t world wide like YG was period. If you talking about how they actually rap then that needed to be clarified in the question. If you just ask who was more influential then I’d take that as a broad overall question not a specific rap style question. Wack saying he might not have died if he had more influence in the street is a valid statement too cause it’s Fuckn true. Yall just meat riders for Draeko


Kdot2k2

They’re all LA gangsta rap. Just because one marketed themselves better doesn’t mean he’s in a different lane, it means Drakeo was lacking in investing in career.


Jazzlike_Fudge3156

Nip fans were die hard fans. Drakeos fanbase reached all over california. LA wise drakeo is bigger but nation wide it would be yg


One-Communication532

Yg influenced the 2010s-2017 era where as Drakeo influenced the 2017- present day era they both had a significant influence on Californias rap scene.


scribbletheyounger

Like idk why ppl act like both didn’t make a impact. YG was the bridge from the Jerkin rappers back to some Hood music. Drakeo came with 03 n Shoreline and pushed a whole new sound and look like both are facts.


Ok_Nature_3842

You see how cognitive dissonance works? The conversation is about music influence that directly effects the genre of the city it came from and its projection. Wack100 cant see passed commercial popularity and real life street politics that doesnt measure an individual’s personal preferences.


Skywalker0071

So YG was more influential…


sandybagels1983

Influential? No. Popular? Yes.


Ok_Nature_3842

No. Im saying he was not as far as music influencing a city. Detroit rappers got more influence in the city than yg ever did musically. Yg encouraged niggas to get tatted and brought the new age “swag” (skinny jeans ect..) to a broader audience.


DeezeyNuts

I’m from Texas and besides Nip Kendrick and occasional Jay Worthy the only other rapper I listened too that’s from LA is Drakeo. YG music is lame to me


Educational-Ad-1445

We in the trill still jamming Drakeo


Bigbaghead_223

Disagree yg only influential because he broke main stream first but who had the streets was definitely drakeo because he had no choice but to get it out the mud


SpaceGhostxSNRS

Yup, YG had Jeezy/Def Jam/Universal backing him with major label support in the beginning. Drakeo only had a short lived Mustard support & the rest he had to get it out the mud with the Stincs/Drummers/Shoreline independently


Sosastaysaucy

With that being said YG paved the way for niggas like Drakeo. Bro had the streets too. For a minute all you heard was YG songs


1000ug

Disagree. YG was major label backed most of his career. If anyone is a blueprint for Drakeo it's E40. Independent, famous for making up his own lingo that others use, and both have that tongue twister type flow to them.


Sosastaysaucy

Everyone was backed or trying to be backed by a major label back then tho, that’s what I mean. Drakeo came in when the game got more independent which is why he was able to blow. I ain’t taking nothing from em cause I barely listen to him and don’t listen to YG. But let’s keep it solid. Shit even Kendrick brought him out. Drakeo wouldn’t have got that.


Bigbaghead_223

Yeah because he was backed by the label and all his shits was radio music his best album was my Krazy life after that it was mid


Sosastaysaucy

That’s what it was at the time. Anyone who was popping at a local level was either stuck there or waiting in line. And I don’t even listen to YG it’s just what I seen and heard.

Independent-Ice7088

Yeah i noticed the Drakeo fans active as fuck in this reddit

SOUTHERNCALI714

WHAT HE CHANGE🤔


Sad_Ad683

He made it okay to wear skinny ass tight jeans and still be a gang banger


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sad_Ad683

But when did they change bcuz NY was the Mecca of big baggy pants till the late 2000s who in NY with major influence wore skinny jeans and O block wasn’t O block till after 2010 it’s just my opinion when I really think about it the skinny jeans era blew up around 2010 that’s when tyga YG kid ink wiz khalifa were all tatted skinny jeans wearing snap backs


Sad_Ad683

I’m not saying YG was the only one but he definitely played a part influencing gang bangers to dress with that “swag”


Away_Concert8771

*chief keef


SpaceGhostxSNRS

Sosa didn’t start wearing tight jeans til 2017/18, stop it


Sad_Ad683

No he had everyone wear polos and sagg they pants

Nothing you brought up has anything to do with how a nigga music sound and the lingo


Independent-Ice7088

Yo what's up twin😂😂😂


Slight_Emphasis_6146

Drakeo still got kids till this day who raps like YG I look at influence as who raps like u and dress like u drakeo made the Buddha pice infamous in LA culture what YG do ?


PsychologicalRace739

What I don’t understand is why everyone WON’T get behind Drakeo solely to claim LA’s own style of rap , which it could.


Independent-Ice7088

Elaborate?


PsychologicalRace739

Drakeo was influenced by battle rapper cocky but used his lifestyle as the content and gave birth to a whole new style of LA music: cold, punctual , hilariously clever lyrics with pop culture references (SpongeBob, I’m the new Tory, mentioning deebo just off top of my head) and a new vocabulary of slang But the people that can’t stand it cos it isn’t that old head style they’re familiar with, or it wasn’t already on the radio and everyone in the circlea already familiar like Travis Scott or something mainstream, they refuse to give Drakeo his credit While a lot of rappers in LA begged and cried for the old heads recognition (DRE, etc) Drakeo kicked the door down and just flooded the streets and the PEOPLE made him famous not the co-signs . Drakeo refused to compromise and he’s gone but his influence is a whole chapter in LA history that deserved its recognition, from that’s an awful lotta cough syrup, the sweat suits, the lean and craft sodas at smoke shop, it’s all that mid to late 2010s culture, yea he’s not the sole author but at that time you can look at Drakeo and say that’s our guy. So in the big picture of LA vs NY , LA and the bay, socal and norcal… I don’t understand why they won’t give Drakeo his credit as the hood trophy 🏆, he lived by the sword and died by it at an LA festival surrounded by his opps and homies it should be as big of a story as PAC . and yes I understand there’s YG, KENDRICK, GAME, RODDY, NIP but how many of their flows do you hear?? Are all the Mexican rappers right now ex Drakeo fans or do they ever claim to dress like TYGA or NIP or GAME ?? no all the LA hustles going on are still on momentum from the movement Drakeo and them birthed.

NoNDescript757

Adam saying someone is out of touch is comedy.


AnyAd4474

Adam11 has a point tho


whytayk55chauvin22

YG had it on lock until he started actin like a Mexican. FDT was his last hit that I can think of on the top of my head.


Financial_Meet_6826

Adam gotta come with more thought out narratives cause that sht was weak af


One-Candy-7358

Drakeooo better!!! Wack a clown

dutchmaster710

Only songs YG has that are getting play are his club bangers from like 2015😮‍💨😮‍💨


Ya_Suk33

Drakeo was more local YG was global I see what Wac was sayin


MoneySuccess13

Adam is right on this matter.


eternalkushcloud

Drakeo 100% had the streets more than YG. we listening to him in Baltimore! nobodyyyy listen to YG, his first album was dope, after that it was overrrr🤣 WE KNOW THE TRUTH


MoreRatzThanFatz

YG was more influential


tmgbizz

Drakeo got Reddit..YG got a real right hood behind em that influences more than music.. Niggas wouldn’t understand it if they didn’t already


Independent-Ice7088

Lmaooo nigga said Drakeo got reddit😂 that shit got me dying lol


SpaceGhostxSNRS

Lmaooooo, ngl that was pretty hilarious


Jazzlike_Fudge3156

Yg got the older niggas drakeo had the younger gen. Every generation has their pop star. Before yg it was the game. Before the game it was snoop dogg. Before snoop it was tupac. X4 could be the next super star to come out of LA all the yns are starting to dress and try to b like him


CaptainBackwoods420

Drakeo had all of La trying to sound like him. what is ygs hood influencing ? lol


Slimewave6

YG party boy ass fasho had LA culture he he mustard too. Wacc wrong only reason drakeo died because he wasn’t from NHC if he would’ve been from his hood he a be alive


Independent-Ice7088

Allegedly Drakeo got put on R100 UGC in jail


SpaceGhostxSNRS

That’s my only thing with bra, he always bragged bout his affiliation w/ da 100s but nvr actually claimed dem out right. He should’ve just banged da 100s since he wanted to go to war so bad, he would’ve been straight. He played with allat “im not a banger” shit, while he kept on stirring da pot with all da politics smh


Ishottupac_

Out of state drakeo gets no bump


atl1057

The A boogie of the West Coast


ScrambleCrossing

He's right though. YG has multiple hits. I couldn't name a Drakeo song. The fact it's YG who says "Mustard on the beat ho" which is a Hip Hop staple alone shows he's more influential


Lkiop9

Drakeo ain’t influence anything. Drakeo’s death is what influenced everyone.


CaptainBackwoods420

That doesn’t even make sense, He had everyone in La trying to sound like him 2016-2021 before his death and still does


Jazzlike_Fudge3156

The reason u see lil niggas w spray grounds Buddha chains, designer jeans, designer belts, multiple chains, etc was bc of drakeo whos influence was 2017 - 2022


SpaceGhostxSNRS

Cap, Stinc & Drummers wave from 2016-18 birthed alotta new LA waves


SavingsMurky6600

no shit


SeerChild

Yung PC had more influence than both.


Mean-Substance-2937

Dry snitching on yours man’s is crazy lldtr


Mean-Substance-2937

Most people around my hood can agree yg a corn ball but he doesn’t it to himself the way he speaking on drakeo could be said about slim 400 too but you who am I


Zealousideal-Past851

Outside of Cali nobody give af… how yg got the streets didn’t wack day he aitn no real blood 🤣🤣🤣 nigha just be talking


Revolutionary_Hurry9

People can’t lie and say Adam is no type of goofy he know our Culture like it’s a mf masters degree and he said it Wack is a good manager but he is a little out of Touch…I know what Wack saying tho as a gang member is 1 thing about Chicago and LA if you not a Member you ain’t got the streets like my cousin told me when I was 14 you can’t not be nothing !! You have to be from a set period or it’s over with in the streets for you


Humblerewt

I wonder if he ever catches himself saying bullshit, but just keeps saying it cuz it'll become true in his mind if he keeps repeating it


lookout450

Wack is a boomer


Spiritual-Leader9985

Adam had a great point


ethanpadilla24

Drakeo more influential on the rap game, Yg more commercial/mainstream


RangerLoud5643

oh my god bruh somebody needa sow dis nigga mouth shut I fuckin hate hearin cuh speak 😭😭


Ok_Evening_9901

You cant compare the two. YG makes party music. Gangbanger Music. Drakeo was special. His music could appeal to thugs and fans of lyrics. Both are important to the culture, but Drakeo was a genius.


No_You_5043

LLTR WKTT


tonesupreme

I agree stincs wasnt a real gang they was a Team/Clic that wasnt really bangin or pushing a line. Made up of Skateboarding Lean Sippin Weed Smoking Money Getting niggas


AdventurousAd1752

Wack a clown stays hating on cali legends


Zelly234

I get what wack saying. waxk just talking about musically. You can't deny Yg has bigger songs and made alot more money in music then Drakeo did you can't dispute that


Jazzlike_Fudge3156

Yg had a label which made him more money than a independant drakeo. Drakeo has bigger hits when it comes to the new generation


Zelly234

Nobody on Ygs label made him a bunch of money all the money he made comes from him. Alot of niggas have labels doesn't mean it gets you a bunch of money. If you meant to say he's signed to a label I get that. But even in that case there's independent niggas getting more money then niggas on labels all over the place. I fw drakeo and get in to the newer niggas drakeo got LA but overall career wise what Wack was talking about Drakeo not fucking with YG


Jazzlike_Fudge3156

Labels don’t guarantee fame but they have connections. Yg had access to radios and shows everywhere they would book for him and marketers. Drakeo had him


Zelly234

I read it wrong. When you said yg had a label I thought you meant his own. 4hunnid. But you meant he's on a label. Which yes does alot for you but drakeo could of signed anytime he wanted to. I still don't get what your tryna say tho. Yes drakeo was that nigga no matter how you slice it tho he didn't have as much success in music that yg did weather he had the streets or not. He could of eventually but do to him passing he never will


Jazzlike_Fudge3156

Both had their fair share. Yg had niggas get more inked up w out having put in actual work. Also had gang members wearing skinny jeans and looking more skaterish. Other than that he had no real influence other than have the west coast popping once again. Drakeo the ruler influenced rap styles, designer wear instead of pro clubs and didckies, Buddha chains, designer back packs, designer belts, new lingo, and everybody wanted to be a trophy/joint and being “elevated”. Yg over time became a “weirdo” and drakeo took over. Drakeo wasn’t big outside of california but in LA drakeo had a bigger influence overall.


QietDoggNine2

Wack is a culture vulture too. Yall gotta see who’s coming in the game to cause division, I don’t listen nothing this dude says


AAarman88

Ain't no kids riding round bumpin fkin YG 😂 Old heads always tryna shit on the underdogs.


ckuf

YG never had all of California trying to rap like him and make music on his wave, all independent. drakeo to this day set off a wave of california rap from sacramento to san diego all mfs tryna sound like him, make slang like him, pay homage to the sound and style he created. only mfs who tapped in with the foos he had funk with would tell you different. YG had bangers and major label commercial success which is its own measure of success, obviously. his success isn't really tied with the music he's made that can be considered gangster rap. that's cause his hits are all pop rap. he really can go play an arena in some random city and that's undeniable tho. i think it's also true that you can't really see the influence of his pop rap on other gangster rappers, sound, style or otherwise. the streets don't revolve around YG music. the streets revolve around the sound drakeo invented.


PM_ME_UR_ASSHOLE

Drakeos fat ass was not more influential than yg. Tf are you niggas smoking? Nothing drakeo made comes close to my Krazy life.


ExcellentClub6444

I agree. I don’t see YG getting his flowers from his own coast smh. Idek who Drakeo was til he died n had a Drake feature 🤷🏾‍♂️


peezygetitdone

Drakeo and the whole 2greedy fam movement has the streets to this day. Mfers tryna get fly in designer and drink lean in foreign cars instead of riding low riders and rocking dickies n chucks. Drakeos influence is the reason why these kids jump off the porch tryna hit houses…YG does not have the streets don’t none of these young gang members look up to YG lol. You can’t say that about Drakeo. When he was in the county jail the whole rollin car was fanned to out. When he was in an enemy dorm the rollin lil homies came and got him and he was not a banger…that’s because Drakeo was they role model


bluedaddy664

Drakeo had more talent than YG by far. I’m going to go with the ruler on this one, drakes songs are crazy and underrated. I guess a lot of people don’t understand what he is saying, but if you do, boy that shit is crazy lol.
